Investigating the wave of unionization that has seen over 60
digital and legacy media outlets unionize since 2015, this book
explores how a flash of organizing by digital-first journalists has
become a full-blown movement to unionize journalism, particularly
in the United States. Through in-depth interviews with journalists
and organizers, New Media Unions maps the process of labor
organizing, foregrounding journalists’ voices and documenting a
historic and ongoing moment in the digital media industry. Cohen
and de Peuter examine what motivates union drives, then follow
journalists through the making of a union from scratch. They
explore how journalists strategically self-organize, apply their
communication skills to alternative ends, generate affective bonds
of solidarity, and build power to confront anti-union campaigns and
bargain first contracts, winning significant gains and drafting a
new labor code for journalism in a digital age. This book
demonstrates that if journalism is to have a future, it must be
organized. New Media Unions provides a counter-perspective on an
industry in flux, whose protagonists—young journalists facing
precarious futures—are using collective organizing to articulate
a bottom-up vision for journalism’s future. This is a valuable
resource for academics and researchers interested in political
economy, journalism studies, and labor studies. Book website:
